Question

Update: this question, including the title, was rephrased, see history for details

I know that the following App.config includes a external file:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?> <configuration>   <appSettings configSource='appSettings.config'/>   <system.net>     <connectionManagement>       <add address='*' maxconnection='50'/>     </connectionManagement>   </system.net> </configuration> 

But I don’t know how to move the system.net to the second file. Actually I haven’t tried it, but I am almost certain that it will not work, and I want to know if there is an way for an App.config to include another App.config file by reference.

Answer 1

I think you just remove the configSource attributes and then include all the content within the <appSettings> and <connectionStrings> elements
